Sarah Jones was facing two charges including sex abuse of the first-degree. She pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and custodial interference.

Prosecutors said they agreed to the deal because the teen's family refused to cooperate.

Sentencing was set for Nov. 22, but Jones asked to be sentenced now. She was then sentenced to two years in prison, but was told she would stay out of jail if she stays out of trouble for the next five years. She will not have to register as a sex offender.

"I began a romantic relationship while he was a student and I was in a position of authority," Jones said tearfully.

Jones said the relationship began in February 2011 at Dixie Heights High School when the boy was 17. She said the two had sex, that she sent him sexually explicit text messages and lied about the relationship to police.

Jones' mother, Cheryl, was charged with tampering with physical evidence, but pleaded guilty to a charge of attempted tampering w/ physical evidence. She was sentenced to 12 months in prison, suspended if she stays out of trouble for two years.

Sarah and Cheryl Jones were set to go on trial this week. She left court hand-in-hand with the teen, now 18. The victim's family and Jones family have said previously that the families have been friends for some time.
